2022 Bighorn Rendezvous Artist – Julie Oriet

Julie considers herself lucky to have been born and raised in rural Montana- enjoying the best it has to offer.  She was surrounded by beautiful scenery, big blue skies and an endless variety of animals.  Her enthusiasm for the West, as well as travels to other parts of the world, continue to create new adventures that inspire ideas for future paintings.
